Happy Birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hjcallipygian and tnbella! I hope the day's very happy indeed ::many hugs::
Today would have been my granny's 90th birthday... I miss her and wish she'd lived long enough for the girls to know her. She got to meet Eleanor at least; we've got some lovely camcorder footage of them playing together in the garden, just before we emigrated, but as Eleanor wasn't quite two, she can't remember her at all. My great-grandmother died when I was about ten, so I do recall her very clearly. Emigrating has meant that apart from vists from grandparents, Eleanor and Lauren are growing up very isolated from the network of aunts, uncles, cousins and such that I took for granted.
wesleysgirl and I have finished our fic, 'Saturation' and it's with the beta reader :;feels accomplished and productive::
My parents' visit ends on Sunday; it's gone whizzing by as usual. I keep going shopping with Mum and buying things and Dad is doing lots of jobs around the house and garden. Shopping is way more fun with two people. As long as one of them isn't a child. I cannot enjoy shopping with the children, especially Lauren, who, at four, still runs off, gets tired, lags behind, trips up unsuspecting passers by...
